Brass Tank Connector

Product Description

A Brass Tank Connector (also known as a Bulkhead Fitting) is a specialized heavy-duty fitting designed to create a secure, leak-proof outlet or inlet through the wall of a water tank, cistern, or barrel. It consists of a threaded body, a securing nut, and typically includes high-quality washers to ensure a watertight seal against the tank surface.

Key Features

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Forged or machined from solid brass to withstand the mechanical stress of heavy pipework and constant water pressure.

• Dual-Threaded Design: Usually features a long external thread to accommodate varying tank wall thicknesses and internal threading for connecting pipes or valves.

• Corrosion Resistance: The high-grade brass alloy prevents rusting and scaling, even when submerged or exposed to harsh weather conditions.

• Watertight Integrity: Supplied with durable rubber or EPDM gaskets that compress against the tank wall to prevent seepage.

• Primary Applications

  • Water Storage Tanks: Creating a reliable bottom outlet for drainage or a top inlet for float valves.

  • Rainwater Harvesting: Connecting barrels and collection systems to irrigation lines.

  • Industrial Reservoirs: Used in chemical storage (non-corrosive) and coolant tanks for machinery.

  • Aquaculture: Installing drainage and filtration ports in large fish tanks and hydroponic reservoirs.
